Bank accumulate a idle money from general public by providing attractive sound interest rate in their deposit and disburses the collected deposits as loan to business organization, industrial sector and needy people etc. so we can say that main task of commercial bank is to mobilize idle resources in productive areas by collecting it from scattered sources and generating profit. Thus, bank fulfills the investment requirement of savers with the credit needs of investors. In this way bank plays an imperative role in our economy by providing effective service efficiently towards the attainment of economic development.

    The Bank of England was a brilliant idea that managed to stabilize the British monetary crisis of the 17th century. In its essence, the Bank of England (From now on referred as BoE) promised its creditors to pay them back with large interests, and since the bank was backed by the government/government taxes, creditors often felt secure and deposited money in the BoE. When the BoE collected enough money, they gave it to the government, but in exchange they took a cut of the money by a percentage higher than the interest rate promised to its creditors. Thus, BoE became profitable and started lending money and credit to people, which allowed for the creation of businesses and other ventures. Furthermore, the BoE started Fractional Reserve Banking which meant that it lent more money that it actually had and injected liquidity into the economy which invigorated trade and would create the right conditions for the English government to solve the problem of debasing.

At that time temples were used as banks because of their prevalent respect. During the rule of king Hamurabi (1788 – 1686 BC) the founder of Babylonians Empire, loans were started being granted for interest. The borrower has to provide guarantee or he had to pledge his goods or valuables. King Hamurabi drew up a code wherein he laid down standards rules for procedures for banking operations by temples and great landowners. Also in Greece, the temples were used as banks, where the people deposited their money and other valuables for safe custody and security. In Europe with the ‘revival of civilization’ (Renaissance) in the middle of twelve century, trade and commerce started expanding and this development compelled the business community to borrow the money from the Hebrew money lenders on high rates of interest and usury. Seeing the great demand, these moneylenders started organizing themselves and bank started up at the principle seaports of southern Europe.

    Opinions differ as to the origin of the work "Banking". The word "Bank" is said to be of Germanic origin, cognate with the French word "Banque" and the Italian word "Banca", both meaning "bench". It is surmised that the word would have drawn its meaning from the practice of the Jewish money-changers of Lombardy, a district in North Italy, who in the middle ages used to do their business sitting on a bench in the market place. Again, the etymological origin of the word gains further relevance from the derivation of the word "Bankrupt" from the French word "Banque route" and the Italian word "Banca-rotta" meaning "Broken bench" due probably to the then prevalent practice of breaking the bench of the money-changer, when he failed.…

    The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance era by Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth. However, traces of banking activity can be found even in ancient times. In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called macella on a long bench called a bancu, from which the words banco and bank are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did not so much invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into the only legal tender in Rome – that of the Imperial Mint.Commercial banks engage in the following activities:…

    Banks have been around since the first currencies were minted - perhaps even before in some form or another. Currency, particularly the use of coins, grew out of taxation. In the early days of ancient empire, a tax of on healthy pig per year might be reasonable, but as empires expanded, this type of payment became less desirable. Additionally, empires began to need a way to pay for foreign goods and services with something that could be exchanged more easily. Coins of varying sizes and metals served in the place of fragile, impermanent paper bills.
